Default paintings and photos

I am a graphics student and have been asked to write an essay on how photographs have changed the world of realistic paintings, and whether paintings are a dying art. Could you please answer your thoughts on this as i would love to use them in my essay. Also if you have any ideas of books and websites that i can look at to find my answers please let me know?

Hi pinkness, I'm a very experienced exhibiting artist. Yes the photograph put a big dent in the art of painting as far as mere representation of nature has been concerned. Photos are cold things though. Little sense of life or love in them. But paintings come from the human heart and imagination. There is usually sensitivity and otherworldlyness. See surrealism---no photo can equal the dream like qualities from imagination. Painting is far from dead. But it would take pages to expand on that concept.Pabloart4
